I have 2 nodes kafka cluster with default.replication.factor=2,is set in server.properties file.
I removed one node-in removing that node,I killed Kafka process,removed all the kafka-logs and bundle from that node. Then I stopped my remaining running node in the cluster and started again(default.replication.factor is still set to 2 in this node server.properties file). I was expecting some error/exception as now I don't have two nodes in my cluster.But I didn't get any error/exception and my node successfully started and I am able to create topics on it. So should the "default.replication.factor" be updated from "default.replication.factor=2" to "default.replication.factor=1" , in the remaining running node? Similarly if there are two external zookeeper nodes(zookeeper.connect=host1:port1,host2:port1) in my cluster and now I have removed one zookeeper node(host1:port1) from the cluster,So should the property "zookeeper.connect" be updated from (zookeeper.connect=host1:port1,host2:port1) to (zookeeper.connect=host2:port1)? -- *Moniii*
